Hi...
I'm rather stubborn and I've installed o'bsd with an only slice.
It remembers me when I took the decision of removing the windows
partition and only use linux... it has shown to really pay off. i've
learnt a lot. Now it's the turn for o'bsd
I have followed your advice, woodchuck and it

You must run this before securelevel gets raised.
3d 1920 1440 is one mode I don't want to use; you have to overwrite
one of them like that
I guessed that one
Why don't you just set aside a partiton for OpenBSD and dual-boot until
you get your setup to the point that you can work with it?

yes... that's probably the solution...
gosh... this means that I have to re-install both things... anyway...

Hi folks and Naoki,
I have done it... I have installed o'bsd on my production laptop
(fujitsu siemens lifebook p7010) and it seems to work quite nice BUT
for one VERY important thing: screen resolution. It's showing 1024x768
whilst the laptop can reach 1280x768
I was aware of this because in

Hi Dimitry and Gerhard,
first of all i apologise but I really was/am in panic... as I said,
this is my production laptop, the small little toy in front of which I
spend some ~10 hours a day!
I have spent quite a few days to learn the fundamentals of o'bsd on a
crashbox (this one, an ibm t43p)

Nonsense! :-) You can make room on your harddrive by resizing some of
your partitions so that OpenBSD fits on it too. All

Hi Dimitry,
You should always verify that everything works, before taking any
machine into production. :)
well, I cannot think of a better verification than installing the OS
and look around... googling around for all the system can be rather
tedious
As others have already said, a separate

it's not weird; it's C and it's not only for Linux... it's working
properly
ahem...
any C programmer willing to have a look at the C code to make it o'bsd
compatible? according to Naoki it should be feasible but my

Hi,
ok... it's taken me blood and sweat but I have succeeded at resizing
(per hand) the linux disk without losing data (!). Qtparted just
didn't work at all. I don't know how but I have managed to have now
three partitions
1st partition, ~35GB, with ext3
2nd partition, ~35GB no format

I'm might be compleetly wrong, but isn't the 915resolution-0.5.2.tgz
package what Vim needs? That's already ported, precompiled and tested
on a variety of harware using that chipset.
I've asked him several times now to post the exact problems he is having
using the port.

Qtparted is probably a front-end to Parted, which is yet another GNU
misgrowth -

hey, Dimitry... I _cannot_ post the problem because I do not have
o'bsd any more on this laptop (with the 855 chipset). That's why I do
not do it.
I cannot reproduce the
